Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis
The author hypothesizes that many Dutch landscape paintings from the seventeenth century were painted by minor artists but attributed to major artists. Why? Because many more minor artists did those paintings than major artists, yet there are a roughly equal number of surviving paintings attributed to each type of artist.
Notable Assumptions
The author assumes the output of the few major artists could not have equaled the output of the more numerous minor artists. In addition, he assumes paintings by major artists were no more likely to survive to the present day than paintings by minor artists.
